 | | Europe, the last bastion against extremes | | 24/06/2024 The European Union remains one of the strongest bulwarks against extremes. The demagogic programmes presented during election campaigns in the Member States are generally not implemented because they are incompatible with membership of the European Union. Italy is the most recent example. Will France be next? | | Read the editorial |

 | | European elections …only France | | 16/06/2024 The European elections showed a relative stability in the continent's political formations, with the exception of France, Italy and Austria. Everywhere else, sovereignist movements regressed, often affected by the exercise of power. The European Union is in working order, despite external interference and the accumulation of challenges. | | Read the editorial |

 | | Commemorate to Mobilise | | 07/06/2024 On 6 June 2024, the free world gathered on the beaches of Normandy. 80 years earlier, the democracies had landed there to bring down Nazism. They had agreed to "ally themselves with the devil", the worst of regimes, that of Stalin, to triumph over the absolute evil embodied by the black uniforms. It was a short-lived collaboration, which allowed the Soviet Union to gain essential aid for victory and to contribute to it, alas already without regard for its people, who were immediately plunged back into the darkness of dictatorship. | | Read the editorial |

| |
 | | A time of gravity | | 02/06/2024 Passions are legitimate, often understandable, rarely productive. They must not be allowed to hijack the forthcoming European elections. All democracies are destabilised by the expression of brutal anger, and Europe, one of the oldest democracies, is no exception. | | Read the editorial |

 | | Ukraine’s accession to the EU provides added value and serves historic justice | | 24/06/2024 On the eve of the first intergovernmental conference to open negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union, Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmyto Kuleba takes stock of the benefits of Ukraine's membership of the European Union. | | Read the study |

 | | To be European (free, modern and independent) : seen from Central and Eastern Europe | | 17/06/2024 Deprived of political freedom behind the Iron Curtain, Central and Eastern European societies have learnt to broaden their horizons and continue to be European. For Nathalie de Kanvi, the Ukrainian resistance, but also the inventiveness of the whole of society, despite being at war, illustrates this choice of freedom made possible by the European Union. | | Read the study |

 | | A push to the right but the majority coalition should be renewed | | 11/06/2024 Following the European elections held from 6 to 9 June in the 27 Member States of the European Union, the major balances have been maintained and the only possible majority coalition between the European People's Party (EPP), the Party of European Socialists (PES) and Renew could be renewed. According to Pascale Joannin, the push to the right has been contained at European level, but it is not a tidal wave. Except in France. | | Read the study |

 | | The Russian dilemma returns to the Bulgarian political scene | | 03/06/2024 On the eve of the parliamentary elections on 9 June, Moscow is making a limited comeback as a cultural alternative and geopolitical model, but without succeeding - for the moment - in ruining Bulgaria's pro-European orientation. For Maria Mateeva-Kazakova, there is certainly a long-standing Russo-Bulgarian narrative, but this alone does not explain the breakthrough of the far-right Vazrajdane party in recent years. | | Read the study |

|
 | | Dissolution of the National Assembly and a snap election : Emmanuel Macron’s gamble | | 24/06/2024 It was a thunderbolt in the French sky on the evening of 9 June when, an hour after polling stations closed for the European elections - and as initial results (later confirmed) announced a clear victory for the list of the populist Rassemblement National (RN) party led by party chairman Jordan Bardella - the head of state Emmanuel Macron announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, and the organisation of early legislative elections on 30 June and 7 July. | | Read the study |

 | | Despite a push to the right the outgoing majority coalition should be renewed with over 400 seats | | 17/06/2024 The tenth European elections, held from 6 to 9 June in the 27 Member States of the European Union, show a certain stability in the choice of European citizens, who have once again given their votes and their confidence to candidates from the three main political families: centre-right (EPP), centre-left (PES, S&D) and Liberals (ALDE, Renew)). The outgoing coalition formed by these 3 parties retains a majority of 405 seats. As the only majority coalition, it should therefore be renewed for the new legislature. | | Read the study |

 | | The Belgians have proved the polls wrong: the New Flemish Alliance (NVA) is victorious in Flanders and the Mouvement Réformateur (MR) has won in Wallonia and Brussels | | 09/06/2024 Contrary to what opinion polls had predicted, the New Flemish Alliance (NVA) emerged victorious from the 9 June general elections in Flanders. It won 16.71% of the vote (24 seats, one less than in the previous parliamentary elections on 26 May 2019) and beat the radical right-wing party Vlaams Belang (VB). The other surprise was the strong growth of the Mouvement Réformateur (MR) in French-speaking Belgium. It won 10.28% of the vote and 20 seats (+6), overtaking the Socialist Party. | | Read the study |

This was the 6th election of its kind to be held in the country since April 2021. The party won 23.55% of the vote. | | Read the study |
